Inactive for the Ravens' 44-13 win over the Cincinnati Bengals along with rookie defensive lineman DeAngelo Tyson, Hall is trying to do enough to convince the coaching staff to activate him for his first regular-season game.

"I can't be mad at anybody," Hall said. "There's great dudes in front of me. I'm learning by watching Haloti, who might be the best player in the league. I make sure my technique stays sound and focus on everything to make sure I give them a great look every day."
